Perhaps there is no profession in the world that is assailed more frequedtly than that of the Law. It is quite common to hear Law yers denounced as heartless and mercenary -as always eager for the "main chance" never disiterested-never generous. We regard this as grossly unjust to the 'profes sion. We happen to have a pretty exten sive acquaintance with the "gentlemen of the bag-and while we are bound to con fess that among them are a few who are a disgrace alike to the profession and the race, the majority are fraiXlamanly,hightninded and honorable-gentlemen, in the true sense of the phrase-men who would -scorn to take an undue advantage, and whose hearts are "as open as the day to melting charity.'? Be. low we give an illustration. 'T he case, more over, is by no means a rare one:-"A few days since (says one of our cotemporaries) a case of extreme hardship was brought to the notice of Judge King. A young girl was convicted of the larceny of a sum ofmio. ney under peculiar 'circumstances. Nearly: two years since a boarder in her father's house missed a small sum -of moniy out of his-trunk, which she confessed to have taken under the supposition that it belonged to her father. The parents of. the defendant -had promised to restore the property, but were prevented mst piobably from doing so in consequence of their poverty. A short time since the girl was married to a respectable young man, when the prosecutor commen. ced proceedings against her. The mother of the g;rl was forced to appear against her in the performance of a sacred but painful duty, and it was most likely her testimony that influenced the jury in rendering a ver dict of guilty. - "Judge King said that lie land reflected deeply upon the case, and had determited upon passing a nominal sentence, believing that the ends of public justice would be bet ter satisfied than if the severity of the law were inflicted upon her. lie then decreed that she pay a fine of one cent, restore the property, and undergo twenty four hours' imprisonment. A member of the har arose and said, thait lie was sure that his brethren around him would raise the money on the spot, if the Court would withhold its seni tence for the present. The sum was about 850, and the whole of if was in the space oi three miqutes obta ned-the olicers of the Coninionwealth throwing ofF their costs at the same time. After the nioney had beena thus raised the prosecutor stopped forward, and positively refused to touch a penny of the money, and desired that the utmost leni enc~y be extended to the unfortunate prison er.' -&aturday Gleaner. TOMI PAINE'S BONES. The fate that has befallen this u nhappy man (Thomas Paine, the Infidel,) is both curiotis and wondp ul-the sanctuary of the grave not even ha o1g been granted to him for a restin place. Mr Paine died about the year 18* a little distance frm New York city, in WVestchester country, if we are not mistaken. The scene gt-his death -bed, which was horrid; has ofteni been described. He could not; dared not be left alone for a mocment. H~e died at the house of a brothei infidel, and; a grave being denied him in-any consecrated spot, his friends buried him, wvithL out ceremony beside a fence on his farm A number of years after, an Fnglishtiidn; an ardent admiier and follower, dismnterred hia sheleton, and carrying it to England, kept it as a sacred reli'e m his house. At that time he was possesed 'of immense wealth, but in a few years he became a batakrupt, and died. His effects, having been seized by his credi. ters, were sold according to law, and among othqraarticles of house-hold furniture and ap. :p'~ 'Ton Paine's bones were put up at pa lnT auction, and sold to a wealthy amateua andiburiosity hunter for the- sum of forty ourid. Within the cabinet of this gentle. man, in company with many other curiosi. - ties, the bones of Tom Paine are nosv de. 'jxited-a warning and example that wvher the. wicked dieth their expectations shall yerish. The splendid talents 'and educatior of Mr. Paine, if exerted in a better cause, would'have merited and' ensured for him a diff'erent fate.

Rather let me share your perils and your glory, than leave me here to die in suspense, while you are exposed to the dreadful chances df war!" Thus plead the beautiful Senora; when on the filowing 'morning, she met he# illustrious husband in his well-studied diq guise, and learned from him his desperati resolve. * The brave are ever generous. Thos< upraised hands-those upturned, beaminj eyes, ;oucheld the heroe's heart. "I would have gone alone. The eaglc would leave his mate in her nest when I goets forth to battle. But thou shalt be my guardian angel, and, in the hour of tri umph and revenge, thy intercession fo the vanquished will make me mereiful But hasten to prepare, for we must depar ere set of sun." A lucky ahance was the brief d*lay for wide~ t h lady's preparations were making, a messenger brought importon advices to the illustrious chier, wich~ ren dered his disguise no longer necessary.
